================ ARMAN AGHBALI radio producer ================

Hey! I make radio about people, places and things. Right now I work on Understood, a tech-focused investigative podcast at CBC Podcasts. I'm taking a brief hiatus from The Current on CBC Radio, where I work on daily news stories, with a particular interest in tech and culture. I was a producer on Tapestry, a show about what it means to be alive. I produced and edited the podcast More with Anna Maria Tremonti. Before that I worked on a show about video games and the people who play and make them, called Built to Play. I might pick it up again one day. You never know. Have a story/book you think could be a good fit for The Current? Email Me. I'm also on X and on BlueSky. DM me for Signal.
